  ABSTRACT: Kertas ini menghurai dan membincangkan secara kritis pendekatan pembangunan telecenter MCT yang dikatakan sesuai dengan merujuk kepada prestasi pendekatan pemuafakatan pintar (intelligent collaboration-CQ) dalam membangun MCT di MID Kampung Parit Tengah, Johor, Malaysia dan di BIM Desa Cihideung, Bandung, Indonesia. Berdasarkan pengalaman kedua-dua pembangunan telecenter ini, metod pembangunan CQ dan CO boleh diamalkan dalam membangun BIM dan MID sebagai MCT. Key Performance Index (KPI) yang perlu diberi perhatian dalam pembangunan MCT di kedua-dua negara ialah sejauh mana kehendak, penyertaan, komitmen dan kerjasama berterusan penduduk menggunakan telecenter. Oleh sebab itu metod pembangunan yang sesuai untuk membangun MCT ialah CQ dan CO. Melalui kedua-dua metod ini penggunaan berterusan telecenter oleh semua lapisan masyarakat boleh terjadi kerana mendapat kerjasama penduduk, pemimpin masyarakat, pihak kerajaan, NGO dan pihak swasta. Prestasi kedua-dua program setakat ini memberi harapan berjayanya usaha merapatkan jurang digital di kalangan masyarakat desa dan seterusnya membuka banyak lagi peluang digital. MCT sebagai pemangkin pembuka peluang digital seluas-luasnya sehingga mampu meningkatkan adaptasi, asimilasi, difusi dan inovasi ICT dalam kalangan penduduk desa di Indonesia dan Malaysia seluruhnya.

  ABSTRACT: The Malaysian National Strategic Framework of Bridging Digital Divide listed three main issues on the applications of ICT which relate to the access, the adoption and the value of using ICT among Malaysian community. This paper will present the findings of an impact research on the use of telecen- ters as the catalyst for cyber and e-learning. The research utilized a set of questionnaire, interview and focus group and the total numbers of respondents are 556 Malaysians who utilized 18 telecenters in Peninsular Malaysia. The findings reveal that there is a positive impact on the use of the telecenters among Malaysians and the telecenters need to be transformed to better service and meet one of the needs of the community, which is to access information, and sub- scribe to cyber learning. The provision of online learning materials and courses will add value socio- economically, educationally and the livelihood of the marginalized communities. As the vision of the National Strategic Framework is to bridge the digital and mental divide among those at the rural and urban areas and those who haves and those who haves not there is an immediate need to educate the community with the appropriate digital content and upgrade the ICT infrastructure at the telecenters which are the main Internet access point for the marginalized com- munity in Malaysia. The introduction and connection of broadband at the telecenters will also promote eas- ier and faster access to the online information and assist the process of e-learning and cyber learning for all.
